A (lex|mtell to Router's Telegram Com pany, dated Cairo, November 22, says the nrmy of Hicks Pasha haa been den troyd by the force* of K1 Mnhdi, the False Prophet. The fighting i* said to have continued Ironi the .'ld to the . r >th in.xt., and to have resulted in the anni hilation of the Kgyptian troop*. It in Hinted that n Herman arti*twH the only pm-Hon who escaped. The forces of Id Mnhdi comprised, it is estimated,2oo, 000 men, and included dervishes, Bed ouins, niulnttoes, and regulars. The battle was fought near Id Obeid. 1.1 Mnhdi first Kent forward the dervishes declaring that they would vanquish the enemy by divine aid. Subsequently the regulars joined in the attack, and the engagement became general. The army of Hicks Pasha, which early in the battle was divided into two bodies, was subsequently reunited and formed in to a square, which the forces of the False Prophet broke after three days' de-perate lighting. The force under Hicks Pasha comprised 10,000 men, He had with him 10 British officers. Mr. O'Donovan, of the London /Ao'v Xtm, •ind an artist connected with a Herman illustrated paper, also accompanied his trmy. It is understood that Sir Kvelyn Baring has advised the Kgyplian Uovern merit to abandon Soudan and establish strong frontier line from Khartoum in the north of the Sennaar Province, to Saukin, on the Bed Sea. The London AVer Cairo correspnn dent says Hicks Pasha bad divided his army, sending half told < >bied lode maud the surrender of that place. He awaited the arrival of the Mahdi, who was advancing from the southeast. The Mahdi, however met the half of Hicks Pasha artny advancing to LI tibeid and attacked it. Hearing the firing Hicks Pasha came up with his whole force and formed a square. The Mahdi brought up fresh regulars, who, it is supposed were the soldiers who were captured when LI < bied fell, and who agreed to take service under the Mahdi. These numbered 3,000. The square of Hick Pasha was then broken and his army was annihilated. Kl Obied, where the three days' battle -nding in the annihilation of the expe ■ lition, was fought, is the capital of Kor • lofan, 2(0 miles southwest of Sennaar. m l 1.10 mil"' west of the White Nile, and has a imputation variously estima ted at from 12.000 to 20.000. The Paris Trtr.pt says a Frenchman named Soulier organised the forces of Kl Mahdi. It states that M. Soulier, after the bombardment of Alexandria, ent to Khartoum without any definite object in view, and thst he subsequently met Kl Mahdi and gained his confi dence. 'Hie London SiamiarT .* correspondent at '*iro says:'-A telegram from Mr Power, one of the artists with Hicks Pasha's expedition, reports that the first attack by the F.gyptian army was successful, and that it was not until the enemy < believed to be routed tha Hicks Pasha accepted the guidance of vn emixxary of the Mahdi, who led the army into a waterless defile, where it was annihilated.

Five years ago the annual foreign importation of glass was reduced froat 1,01)0.000 to .100.000 boxes, but the late strike ha revived the importation and it is asserted that will again reach 1.000,000 boxes.

LONDON, December I.—The trial of Patrick O'Donnell for murder of James Carey was resumed this morning at Old Bailey police court. The room was crowded with spectators, including a number of ladies. The jury retired at 0:55 i\ s. LONDON liec. I.—O'Donnell was pro nounced guilty of murder about 'J o'clock. The judge's charge to the jury wu* in several respects almost equal to a death sentence against < t'Donnell, and the prisoner's counsel seemed to give up hope when they heard it. One of the strongest points in the charge was that, if two men quarreled and one kill ed the other, the determination to kill might huvo been formed after the first excitement of the struggle had sub sided and could be considered premedi' tut ion. The jury asked if it was mur der for a man to shoot another whom lie believed was about to shoot him. The judge replied that it might or might not be; but, in this case, no evi dence had been | roduced to show that Carey intended to shoot, fieri. Prior considers that up to this ho or his client bad some chance for acquittal, but that this settled the jury against him. In a few minutes the jury came in again with their verdict of guilty, O'Donnell seemed to be in agony, and uttered a cry of despair. Regain ing partial control of himself he stood up with a defiant air to receive sen t<-nce. After it had Wen pronounced, be said "Judge, I want to say some thing that will forever ring in the heart* of the Irish people.'' Judge Denman pretended not to hear the request, and aked the clerk what O'Donnell wanted. The clerk said he wanted to pe*k. The judge merely said "Oh," and the court officers taking this a* a refusal, grasped ' ''Bunnell and hurtles! him away. He struggled, fought anil yelled all the way out of court and down the stairs, shrieking: "Thrvw* cheers for Ireland! doodbye to the f : nited State* !

' Now that O'Donnell ha* been con victed and sentenced to death there will Lea great deal of sympathy ex pressed for him, because he killed a man of despicable character, it ia true that Carey saved his own neck by turn ing traitor to his companions in crime. He was without doubt equally guilty with tbom and deserved death. Rut hi* punishment should have come at the hands of the law. It was not right that any man should take the indi vidua! responsibility of punishing Carey by death. If he did so he must expect to be considered as a wilful murderer. Had O'Donnell been ac quitter! an exceedingly dangerous pre cedent would have been established and virtual license would have been given by the courts of justice for the killing of all informers. There is danger of indulging in fatae statement* in O'Dori. nell'scase. The preceding contempti ble course of Oarey and lie influence upon O'Donnell caanot be considered.
